The Necromancer

Prologue

Life's a bore. Maybe it's like a game. Maybe it would be more fun if I was out. I mean, in my own life, I play nothing more than the role of a minor character. And one of the only characters...

Dear mum and all others!

I know that an exclamation seems out of line, but that's how I feel! If you're reading this, then that means that I have long since surrendered myself to Thanatos. Well, I'm glad. This is a short message for all of you. Please don't be too sad.

I hate life. I know, I know; I had a good life. I had a home, a family, school, even a few friends. I had nothing I should have felt ungrateful for. But please remember that we all have our own reasons. Despite having it all, I felt empty. Nothing filled this void. I became a jack of all trades but the ace of none. In the end, I couldn't bring myself to confide in my family or close friends. I went was depressed, but I hated those pills. I hated knowing that mum cried sometimes because of me. I hated how I put on a mask in front of my friends.

In the end, I wasn't strong enough.

Please, please don't be upset. I love you all, and I always will.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

I read the letter over and over. It satisfied me. It made me happy. But then I glanced at my computer table. Mum. She would be a mess if I left her. She would blame herself. Just like the million other times, I ripped apart the page and lit a candle. Then, with a pair of tweezers, I carefully burnt each piece of paper and powdered the ashes.

A/N: There we have it! The first edit! If you check out the original, you'd be shocked at how long it is, and how much it drags! But still, it's something. I hope you'll like this!
